Well, that's not what I thought.

I thought he could write his own script, called on each trap
plans to manage, which would :

        1 - do an in-depth diagnosis of the printer's state
        
        2 - send notifications to admin/users/etc by whatever
            means he wants: email, pager, etc...
        
        3 - deal with CUPS, e.g. reroute jobs, etc...
        
3 is difficult to do because every people have different needs,
and so an RFE is perhaps not a good option in this case.

hoping it's clearer
